This survey was undertaken to assess consumer
sentiment and buying plans. Open-ended questions were asked
concerning evaluations and expectations about personal finances,
employment, recession, price changes, and the national business
situation. Additional variables probe respondents' buying
intentions for a house, automobiles, appliances, and other
consumer durables, and the respondents' appraisals of present
market conditions for purchasing houses and other durables.
Other variables probe respondents' opinions of the United
States government's help to the South Vietnamese government,
the seriousness of Arab nations' intentions regarding peace
with Israel, women's right to abortion, voting for a woman
or a Jew as a presidential candidate, gun permit law, causes
of crime and lawlessness, chances of Russian adherence to a
nuclear weapons limitation agreement with the United States,
and communism in the United States and free speech. Additional
topics covered include the proposed government tax returns, a
solution to the energy crisis, the relative merits of buying a
new or used car and the relative value of small foreign cars
and the small American cars, job pay satisfaction, penalties
for smoking marijuana, freedom to make uncomplimentary public
speeches, monetary drive of lawyers and doctors and the state
of the public good, satisfaction with life in the United States,
government's expected role in racial integration and relations
between white and Black people, vacation plans, and respondents'
assessment of their financial status relative to the previous
year. Information is also provided on respondents' car ownership
and the make and use of it, political party self-identification
and party candidate vote preference, self-identified ideological
position, the neighborhood and house structure respondents live
in, and spending plans for their income tax refunds. Demographic
variables provide information on respondents' age, sex, race,
marital status, occupation, employment status, religion, and
family income.
